Summer at Sea

By: Beth Labonte

Narrated by: Erin Spencer

Four jackets of varying weights, enough socks for the entire Confederate Army, three umbrellas, most of the antacid aisle from the local pharmacy, and six pairs of old-people sneakers that all look exactly the same. Have you ever helped your parents pack for a weeklong cruise? No? I didn't think so. So shut it.

So begins vacation for Summer Hartwell - 26 years old, living with her anxiety-ridden parents, and unwillingly booked by her brother on a weeklong cruise to Bermuda. Despite the nightmare of being trapped aboard a cruise ship with Mom and Dad, Summer sees a rare opportunity to fulfill The Prophecy - her mother's declaration that she will live at home until she gets married. With 2,000 passengers onboard, at least one of them must be husband material, right?

The only problem is Graham Blenderman - her brother's best friend who is joining them for the week in all of his tall, blonde, extroverted glory. Graham doesn't believe Summer needs a husband in order to break free from her parents. He thinks she just needs a little bit of nerve. And to Summer's introverted horror, he's willing to spend the entire week proving that he's right.

How is she not crazy?

I needed something that was
lighter and fun. This was a TRIP (excuse the pun) ...on a holiday ship WITH parents who are phobic, controling, and drive you crazy just for your sake! It's a maddening romp set up by The "brother's best friend" from childhood. if you read what the parents pack, the stage is set.

Ok this was fun !

This was my second book by this author and I quite enjoyed it what happens when you go on a cruise with your parents and your brothers best friend complete Mayham but what a fun ride! Not even sure what else I could write without giving away any spoilers

Fun to read

The book started off hilarious! I laughed so hard I cried! It got a predictable about halfway through, but I still wanted to finish it. I did not find a lot of it as funny after about the first few chapters

Pleasant surprise

This was a pleasant story with a quirky cast of characters. I loved rolling my eyes at Summer’s parents as much as I loved cringing about their actions. I look forward to the next installment.

Charming and fun!

Lots of humor, charming characters, I really enjoyed it. Behind closed doors love scenes. :)
